Samantha Paris

Samantha Paris is an award-winning voice actor, educator,entrepreneur, and founder of Voicetrax San Francisco, the largest and most respected voice-over academy in the United States. Born Bobbi Block in Southern California, Samantha began performing at the age of five. After landing a commercial agent at the age of 16, Samantha enjoyed a career that included nearly 1,000 national and regional commercials and roles in nearly 200 half-hour animated television cartoon shows, including the mega-hit cult series, "Jem and the Holograms". She appeared in several episodic television roles, a starring role opposite Michael Landon in a two-episode storyline on "Highway to Heaven", and in a CBS Afternoon Playhouse episode, "I Think I’m Having a Baby."

Yet with all her performing success, including three CLIO Awards, Samantha yearned to live near the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. So, at the height of her voice-over career success in Los
Angeles, she moved to the Bay Area.
It wasn’t long before Samantha was unwittingly thrust into the teaching profession. Before she knew it, Samantha had unconsciously created a groundbreaking training program and a flourishing
business. Voicetrax San Francisco was founded in 1988, with its studio built soon thereafter in Sausalito. Throughout the years, Samantha has successfully trained more than 10,000 aspiring and working voice actors in the Bay Area. Her
students represent people from al walks of life and backgrounds—many of whom have gone on to book voice-over jobs regularly to supplement their incomes, and many others who go on to make voice-over their full-time (and handsome) living.

With a fierce commitment to the philosophy that talent can be taught, Samantha built a hugely successful business, strictly through
enthusiastic word of mouth and substantial media attention.

Above all, through Voicetrax, Samantha has helped transform the lives of people through the process of helping them find their voices
and, ultimately, find their bunnies.
